Marianna Sullivan's Ice Cream Pie

Melt the chocolate chips and butter in small saucepan over very gentle heat, or over a double boiler. Add the corn or maple syrup and stir.

Reserve 3 tbsp. of the melted mixture to be drizzled on top of the ice cream at the end before freezing the pie.

Add the Rice Krispies to the chocolate mixture and stir well to coat.

Spoon the Rice Krispie mixture into a pie dish to create a crust. Add softened ice cream and spread evenly. Drizzle the reserved chocolate mixture on top and freeze until firm.

Remove the pie from the freezer and let stand for a few minutes before serving.

Kelley Bolten, Marianna's daughter, recommends using two different kinds of ice cream so that one half of the pie is one flavor, while the other half is another flavor.
